Oh, the joys of summer produce! Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash & basil…loads of basil! Here’s a wonderfully easy (and SO delish) recipe for summer squash. While this one uses yellow squash, you could certainly sub in zucchini, Pattypan or crookneck. It’s zesty, garlicy, crunchy & basil-y…all in one amazing dish! 🙂 Ingredients 3 yellow squash Olive
Truth – I LOVE pickled things. Well…real truth…I love pickled things…EXCEPT for pickles! That’s what makes this recipe so awesome. It has all the stuff I love about pickled foods (crunchy, vinegary, tangy goodness), but it’s not pickles! And frankly, these onions & jalapenos are just so darn good on everything. My mouth is watering just
I just completed a backpacking trip in the Sawtooths where we covered 7 miles on Day 1 & 13 miles on Day 2. This was an amazing trip full of spectacular wilderness scenery & high mountain lakes.

Grilling & summer – they go together like peanut butter & jelly…or gin & tonic…take your pick! 😉 Every summer I look forward to corn-on-the-cob. And my FAV way to cook it is by far the easiest – grill it, whole in the husk, don’t even shuck it first. It’s simply the best! Ingredients Corn

Eat ’em by themselves or in my 40-Min (well…almost) Homemade Buns! Delish! Ingredients 1-1/2 lb boneless, skinless salmon, patted dry, cut into 2″ pieces 5 chives,
There’s nothing like a fresh, soft, warm homemade bun. But with the time needed for yeast dough to rise…and rise again…who has that kind of time?! That’s why I’m so glad I found this quick recipe. In truth it takes me about 1 hour to make…but still plenty fast for tonight’s hamburgers…or garbanzo burgers! Enjoy!
Apparently I’m on a garbanzo kick!! Last week I featured falafel…this week it’s cakes! These veggie-forward cakes are a great alternative to meat burgers. They’re packed full of vits & minerals (from the sweet potatoes) AND protein (from the garbanzos). Eat ’em up straight or in burger buns! Ingredients 1 c (14.5 oz) garbanzo beans, rinsed
Falafel is an awesome vegetarian dinner option packed with protein & amazing flavor! This recipe takes just a bit of prep – you need to soak your garbanzos (also called chickpeas) in water overnight – but it’s well worth the small bit of extra effort. Give a try! Ingredients 8 oz dried garbanzos, soaked overnight,
I LOVE eggs…but for years I stayed away from the soft-boiled variety. Is it done…is it not done… ??? Hard to tell when you can’t see the inside! Thankfully I found a foolproof recipe that steams, rather than boils, them. And now these yummy soft-COOKED eggs are on my regular menu! Ingredients 1-6 large eggs, cold (right out
If you don’t have ground turkey in your regular protein rotation, you really gotta try it!! This recipe made me a believer in this awesome protein source. It’s delish!
